Our Story
My name is Emily, and I am an ordinary office worker living in a small town in America. A trip to Europe completely changed my life. In a small café, I encountered the art of crochet. That day, I saw an old woman crafting an intricate floral planter, vibrant in color and unique in design. From that moment, I was captivated by the charm of this craft and decided to learn crochet.
Upon returning home, I embarked on my learning journey. I bought my first set of crochet tools, gathered various tutorials and patterns, and began exploring the world of handicrafts. My passion and perseverance allowed me to quickly master the basic techniques, and soon I started creating my own pieces. My home gradually filled with various flowers, animals, cushions, and decorations I had crocheted myself.
By chance, during a gathering at my house, my neighbors saw my work. They praised my creations and expressed their desire to have some as gifts. I generously gave away some of my pieces, but as time passed, my reputation in town grew. People started seeking me out to buy my handcrafted items.
The increased demand both surprised and overwhelmed me. I realized that I wasn't just fulfilling my hobby; I could also help others through this craft. I found a local disability self-help center where I shared my skills, teaching those interested some simple and easy-to-learn crochet techniques. They learned to crochet cute toys, and all sales income was theirs, helping them achieve economic independence.
I didn't stop my creations; I continued to learn more advanced crafting techniques, producing even more beautiful works. My e-commerce website Crochetstart.com was born, not just as a place to showcase and sell my own works but also as a platform to share the beauty of crochet. I hope through this website to inspire more people to take an interest in crochet and help them find their own crafting path.
Now, my pieces not only decorate my life but have become a part of many others' lives too. My story is not just about a craft hobby; it's a beautiful journey of sharing, helping, and passing on art. Crochetstart.com is not just about selling unique handcrafted items; it's a bridge to spread love and art.
